the love of death
i saw the angel i love
i proposed right away
ill always watch her from above
so in my arms shell always stay
every night shed work late
every morning shed watch the news
slowly the world turned my fate
and i let it heal every bruise
but if i could see the future
it let it stay the same
one night i was walking with my brother
trying to bring him out of his shame
suddenly i heard her giggle
turned to see her blade in his throat
her knife acted as the reapers sickle
and his blood gave it a glistening coat
i looked and met her eyes tear
all i could think is why my brother
i never knew she was in fear
thinking id leave her for another
i ran away in the night
to the gods i beg
i was never out of her sight
and her trap caught my leg
i fell in searing pain
loosing sight of my love
freedom was her gain
and i go above
i see her blade at her side
ready to take my life
"see you on the other side
my darling wife"
